Karen Hummel is Weight Loss Coach,doing her part to stop the obesity epidemic through her coaching and support.
Karen’s formal education includes a Masters Degree in Health Services Management and a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology. Karen is a Certified Life Coach,Certified Health Promotion Director and Certified Personal Trainer with eighteen years of experience and has served as a Wellness Director for several large corporations.
Karen developed an interest in Preventative Health and Fitness at an early age due to personal and family weight problems. Through her own experience battling weight she found that dedication,proper nutrition and regular exercise were the only way to reach desired health and fitness goals. In 1998,after years of perseverance to reach her own fitness goals,Karen was seriously injured in an automobile accident and told prior to surgery she would almost certainly be a paraplegic. The avid health and fitness enthusiast refused to believe it and after three surgeries was told by her surgeons,had it not been for the muscle she had developed through years of exercise she would not have walked away.
Karen has had additional surgeries through the years,but has not let this stop her from her commitment to help others. Karen is proud to be a testament to the importance of sticking to ones goals by walking through pain and fear.
With Karen's education and eighteen years experience in the preventative health,nutrition,and fitness fields and personal experience battling weight,she could not ignore the growing obesity epidemic,especially after the announcement by the surgeon general stating,this would be the first generation to die before their parents due to obesity. This is not a legacy Karen wants to leave behind.
